My ds7 needs some new materials to read.

He devoured the Chronicles of Narnia and loves E. Nesbit's and George MacDonald's books.

I was thinking about introducing him to the Redwall series, but I am not sure which order...

My ds says you don't loose out on any surprises if you read them in written order. He got this advice from a Redwall internet site.
